he just won this election. it's not like the debt ceiling debacle in 2011 went over well with the american public. the american public was disgusted by it, it was brinks manship that people did not like to see, in a recession, they thought it endangered the economy, republicans also know that if you look at the polls and they look at the polls, that the public would blame them if we go over the fiscal cliff by a 2 to 1 margin. so i would say that right now, and i think even republicans would stipulate this, wolf. the president has the leverage here, i mean, republicans also know that if they were to go over the cliff that the tax cuts on the wealthy would increase. you could come back and undue the tax cuts on the middle class expiring. but the president's in a pretty good bargaining position here, which is why you see him sort of hold firm. >> what leverage do the republicans have? >> well, look, i think it -- they understand that for some liberals going over the cliff is okay, because liberals say, you know w

he won the election. also, the romney supporters, by better than 50% margin and exit polls, supported that policy. so the president knows he's got the american people behind him. and this is not a debt ceiling situation where we're literally going to default on our debt. we have got this fiscal cliff date, but it is really more of a slope. so i am confident that the president is hanging in there because it makes sense for him to do and i think he's really convinced the american people support him and it is good for the economy. >> okay. congressman peter welch, thank you so much for joining me from the hill. we'll see 28 days to go whether in fact we go over the slope or not. >>> up close look at how servicemen and women train for this. the horrors of war. the role amputees are playing to prepare others for life in combat. don't miss this report.
